The Xia Clan had always been the head of the Seven Courts. The Three Forms of Blade Intent had once been a silent weapon of an era. It was filled with dominance and sharpness. Unless one was unable to unleash the third strike, very few people would be able to take it head-on.
Ling Gong looked at Xia Jiuyou solemnly.
Dim Light's domain gradually recovered, and he frowned at Xia Jiuyou. "Weren't you challenging the Prime Clear?"
Xia Jiuyou glanced at Feather Mavis, and then his gaze swept across the other two battlefields. "I suddenly realized that the situation isn't right. The competition between the Five Astral Children originally had nothing to do with the Innerverse. According to normal circumstances, I'm already one of the Five Astral Children, but now, it's as if the Ten Arbiters of the Innerverse are challenging the Five Astral Children."
Many people heard this and subconsciously glanced at the battlefield on the golden stage. They found that this was indeed the case.
One of the Ten Arbiters, Liu Tianmu, challenged the Prime Clear lineage.
Wen Sansi of the Ten Arbiters had teamed up with Starsibyl from the Innerverse to challenge Qiu Shi.
He would never openly challenge Ascension Mavis.
The Spirit Palace of the Ten Arbiters participated in the battle.
The Ten Arbiters, the Ten Arbiters, they were all the Ten Arbiters. The competition between the Five Prodigies of the Stars originally had nothing to do with the Innerverse, but because of the Sixth Mainland's invasion and the Starsibyl Sect's strong efforts, the Innerverse's Ten Arbiters had actually joined the competition. They were now competing on the highest stage with the Neoverse's top disciples.
In the end, there were four Ten Arbiters, while the Neoverse also had four.
In a corner of the Mountain and Sea Realm, someone exclaimed, "I wouldn't have known if you hadn't mentioned it. The Ten Arbiters of the Innerverse are a bit abnormal. Four of them have actually reached that step."
"No amount of exclamations can represent our state of mind. We must defeat the Innerverse's Ten Arbiters. Otherwise, our Neoverse will truly lose face."
"We have to defeat the Ten Arbiters."
"Even if the Ten Arbiters lose, their names will still spread throughout the Neoverse. Everyone will know who they are."
…
Outside of the Mountain and Sea Realm, an elder was shocked. "I didn't realize that the Innerverse's Ten Arbiters would be able to reach such a level. They're even on par with our Neoverse's top disciples."
Highsage Shen Wei was shocked as well. "Is this the reason why the Starsibyl Sect is trying so hard to include the Innerverse in the Star Tower contest?
The Ten Arbiters really didn't disappoint them. "
Mu En exclaimed, "Originally, I didn't have high hopes for these ten people. I just wanted them to participate, but I didn't expect them to win half the battle."
Xia Meng's eyes narrowed. This was a battle between the Neoverse and the Innerverse, and if one were to reassess the situation, then the Seven Courts had already lost based on the division of powers. If not for Xia Jiuyou, then the Seven Courts would not even have a single person standing on the highest stage, and Burial Garden would have lost as well.
The Three Dark Magnates had really declined.
On the other hand, the Innerverse had risen to prominence, and there was still one more person. She looked at Lu Yin. This kid had relied on a dozen years of cultivation to reach his current level, and he had even been able to fight against Yuanhua Mavis as a Cruiser. Once he broke through to the Hunter realm or even the Enlighter realm, it would be hard to say what his future would be like.
The situation of the universe had changed. The Seven Courts also needed to change, or they would be eliminated sooner or later.
Xia Jiuyou's words made the situation on the golden stage clear. It was a battle between the Ten Arbiters of the Innerverse and the Five Children of the Stars of the Neoverse.
Even though Lu Yin wanted to see the true power of the three ancestral qi, his Nine Clones Technique was still unable to reach the highest level of power. Under such circumstances, he would be at a disadvantage if he fought against the three ancestral qi. Furthermore, he represented the Xia family of the Neoverse, so he naturally could not allow the Innerverse to interfere in the battle between the Five Children of the Stars. The Ten Arbiters were already strong enough, and they would not be able to suppress them if they advanced any further.
From the Neoverse's perspective, they needed to suppress the Innerverse, regardless of whether it was the older generation or the younger generation.
Among the older generation of the Innerverse, there were not many that the Neoverse cared about. The Sword Sect, the Daynight clan, the Beast Tamers Flowzone, the Lingling clan, and so on. There were only a dozen or so of them, and the most powerful of them all was at Nightking Di Jiang's level. However, such a level was not enough to be considered the top in the Neoverse.
The younger generation also needed to suppress the Innerverse, so there should not be any accidents.
The Ten Arbiters' current accomplishments were already beyond expectations, but that was the extent of their accomplishments.
Xia Jiuyou against Ling Gong, Yuanhua Mavis against Obscured Light, Shangqing against Liu Tianmu, and Qiu Shi against Wen Sansi and Starsibyl.
This was the battle on the highest stage.
Even though the Innerverse had high hopes for the Ten Arbiters, the situation was not optimistic.
Obscured Light's secret technique, Black Coffin, had injured Yuanhua Mavis, but it recovered very quickly. Now that Obscured Light was on guard against Black Coffin, it would not be so easy to attack again. Obscured Light was immediately suppressed by Yuanhua Mavis.
Ling Gong was similarly suppressed by Xia Jiuyou. Whether it was the three forms of Blade Intent or the Netherrefining Palm, they were all very troublesome to deal with.
There was no need to mention Shangqing. The ancestral qi of the three suns suppressed Liu Tianmu from start to finish, and even Liu Tianmu's Thirteen Swords could not contend against Shangqing.
Below the golden stage, Lu Yin's heart sank. Based on the current situation, the Ten Arbiters were definitely going to lose. The Five Scions of the Stars were still from the Neoverse, and Lu Yin wanted to participate. However, the Ten Arbiters all had their own dignity, and they would not allow outsiders to interfere. Although Wen Sansi had borrowed Starsibyl's strength, it might have been because of their previous agreement that Lu Yin's interference would have the opposite effect.
Lu Yin could not help but look at Lan Si. If Lan Si had broken through to the Enlighter realm, then he would have been able to interfere. His Emptiness Palm was not weak, but unfortunately, this guy had no intention of breaking through.
Where had Drunkard gone?
Lu Yin was not the only one who could see that; everyone could see that the Ten Arbiters were about to lose.
While dodging Qiu Shi's Sirius Technique, Starsibyl's gaze swept across the golden stage. She flicked her finger lightly, and although she was not injured, a trace of blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth. She had overdrawn her energy.
Qiu Shi noticed this and frowned. Sirius Sword Technique slashed towards Starsibyl.
Wen Sansi pushed Sirius Sword Technique aside, curious as to what Starsibyl was trying to do.
Off in the distance, Ling Gong was within the Heaven Palace, and the mighty sound of a bell pressed down on Xia Jiuyou. Xia Jiuyou raised his hand and unleashed three forms of Blade Intent in succession. The third strike was horrifying.
At this moment, beams of light appeared on the ground, connecting the heavens and the earth. The first beam of light deflected the third form of Blade Intent by a fraction, and the second beam also deflected it by a fraction. A total of ten beams followed, and the final result was that the third form of Blade Intent was completely deflected and swept past the Heaven Palace.
Ling Gong frowned and looked in Starsibyl's direction.
Xia Jiuyou turned around and looked as well.
What had just happened was Starsibyl's technique. She had used divination to predict the trajectory of the Blade Intent's attack and deflect it.
It was not just Ling Gong; Liu Tianmu had also received Starsibyl's help and used divination to interfere with the Three Suns Ancestral Qi's attack.
Starsibyl could not help them attack, but she could help them predict their opponents' attacks and interfere with them.
Starsibyl had single-handedly interfered with the entire battle in an attempt to control the overall situation and turn the Ten Arbiters' defeat into victory.
Shangqing glanced at Starsibyl and said, "Ignorant." The second beam of Three Suns Ancestral Qi disappeared and reappeared behind Liu Tianmu.
"Defend against the sword!" Liu Tianmu barked as he blocked the first beam of Three Suns Ancestral Qi with his sword. However, he could not block the second. His shoulder was struck by the ancestral qi, and he was sent flying a thousand meters away. The force of the impact nearly caused his organs to collapse, and he could not help but spit out blood.
Shangqing stood motionless in his original spot like a god. The two beams of Three Suns Ancestral Qi were enough to suppress everything.
Seeing the two beams of Three Suns Ancestral Qi rush over again, Liu Tianmu gripped the hilt of his sword and raised it to point at Shangqing. With a flip of his sword, a beam of sword light disappeared. Shangqing's pupils shrank, and he immediately retreated. At the same time, the Three Suns Ancestral Qi blocked in front of him. The sword light pierced through the ancestral qi and forced Shangqing to retreat more than ten steps. This was the first time that Liu Tianmu had forced Shangqing to retreat. Eleventh Sword — Sourcesplitter.
Liu Tianmu did not want to be repelled, as he had no intention of dodging the incoming beams of Three Suns Ancestral Qi. Beams of light appeared on the ground, connecting the sky to the earth. Starsibyl shouted from afar, "Move aside."
Liu Tianmu's expression was cold. The Thirteen Swords had been invincible since ancient times, and they did not need the help of others. Rather than having others help them escape, it was better to trade injuries for injuries. The Three Suns Ancestral Qi was powerful, but Liu Tianmu did not believe that Shangqing's defenses were as powerful.
Just as the two beams of Three Suns Ancestral Qi were about to hit her, Liu Tianmu's sword, which had been gradually lowering, suddenly slashed out horizontally. No one had expected her to use the Thirteen Swords in a row, and each of the Thirteen Swords was earth-shattering. Furthermore, she had just used the Eleventh Sword, and the next one was the Twelfth Sword — Profound Meaning.
The Eleventh Sword — Sourcesplitter — had once been crippled by Quiet Weep. Even though Lu Yin had used the Secret Art of Plan to dodge it, he had only been able to avoid it due to the warning signs in his heart. Half of it was a secret technique, and the other half was luck. Shangqing had relied on the Three Suns Ancestral Qi to block the Eleventh Sword, but he had not been able to block the Twelfth Sword.
As the sword light flashed, blood splattered everywhere. Shangqing's eyes changed, and his vision turned red. He had been injured.
This was the first time Shangqing had been injured since he had stepped into the Mountain and Sea Realm. No matter who he had faced before, not even Ku Lei and the others, they had not been able to injure him. They had not even been able to make him retreat half a step. But now, he had been injured by Liu Tianmu's Twelfth Sword.
The Sword Sect's Thirteen Swords was the strongest sword technique in the Human Domain, and Liu Tianmu had used the Twelfth Sword to injure Shangqing.
At that moment, everyone looked over.
After Liu Tianmu had used the Twelfth Sword, his body had been struck by two beams of Three Suns Ancestral Qi. His body had been severely injured, and he fell to the ground with a pale face. He could not even hold onto the sword formed from star energy, and it vanished.
Shangqing lowered his head. His shoulders had been slashed horizontally by a sword, and there were wounds on them that still contained sword qi.
The injury wasn't serious. It looked like a big scar, but it didn't affect him.
Shangqing looked at Liu Tianmu, who had fallen to the ground, and was shocked. "I never thought that someone would be able to injure me in this Star Tower contest." Three Suns Ancestral Qi revolved around his body as he looked at Liu Tianmu seriously. "You have the qualifications to become one of the Five Astral Children, but unfortunately, you don't have the life."
Liu Tianmu collapsed to the ground and stared blankly at the sky. Did he not have the life?
If he had comprehended the Thirteenth Sword, then the outcome would have been different.
In the distance, Starsibyl's heart sank. Liu Tianmu had been defeated.
Of the Ten Arbiters, she had favored Liu Tianmu the most. His reputation as the Invincible Thirteen Swords had given her a lot of hope, and the fact that he had injured Shangqing proved that Liu Tianmu had not disappointed her. Unfortunately, the Twelfth Sword was not enough to defeat Shangqing, and Liu Tianmu himself had fallen.
As she thought about this, she looked at the other side of the battlefield, and her expression changed. Invisible Light was facing Xia Jiuyou's Ling Palace. He raised his hand and pressed it down.
Ling Palace's surroundings turned black, and it sealed her in like a coffin. Secret technique — Black Coffin.
Many people were stunned by this scene, as Invisible Light had actually attacked Ling Palace.
